DAC80502: TUE calculation check

Part Number: DAC80502
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC82002

Tool/software:

Hi TIer

I see the TUE max value include Gain error right? this Gain error is DAC internal gain or Buffer gain?

How to understand this gain ? Thank you very much.

Do we have 1ch / 2ch DAC which TUE max value < 0.05%FSR,large than 12bit, internal reference , output range include 0-5V? 

low cost version , do you think DAC80502 is good selection? I see FSR maximum value is large than 0.05%.

Why some DAC no TUE spec in datasheet?

How to understand TUE, in every output voltage , the TUE always small than TUE maximum?

  • Hi Tony, 

    We try to characterize (measure) TUE in our newer high performance DACs. It takes time to characterize any spec to we choose what is most important when we release a new device. 

    Gain error is the error in the slope of the transfer function. It's an error that can come from a few sources that results in a gain on the DAC output. Ususally the largest contributor to gain error is the output buffer stage. 

    I'm seeing 0.1% maximum TUE in the DAC80502 datasheet. This means that at any code the output should be withing 0.1% of the idea value. The DAC8050x family is probably going to be the best choice here. 

    DAC82002 has a 0.06% FSR TUE but this does not have an integrated output buffer. This means the TUE will depend on what external buffer is chosen. 

    Best,
